To make myself more active, I write my Dutch course in Weblog, NedLeuk. This is also my appreciate to new features offered by Blogger, such as "draft mode" and user-managed time and date. I try to use more Dutch in NedLeuk.

Coret Moret is changed into PHP file to prepare more flexible, server-side programming in the future. To handle visitors from search engine's results that is still in .html extension, a rewriting in httpd.conf is provided,

RewriteRule ^(.+)\.html$ $1\.php [L,R]

Other major refurnishing is several buttons added: represent common gesture in blog world for any resources have been used. To me personally, I prefer blog button style for its minimalism and simple text expression. I named them as Stiker (sticker).

First PHP's usage is for handling Stiker's more..., so visitors come to see important and less buttons.

Update on 18 Sept 03: I remove Stiker's more because using ?bla=bli&blu seems not so appropriate for blog style. In change, I still need PHP for handling Sideblog, a dynamic block in the right side that is changed more often. About Sideblog, Richard's MovableBLOG is an ultimate inspiration.

Zumaidi Zainuddin's MT's plug in for converting Gregorian date to Hijriah is useful for promoting Hijriah system, so I add this snippet in Coret Moret Amal.

After considering among various hot-topics that I am interested very much to make some annotates, I'd like to start maintaining a long awaited #direktif. Months ago, I set up #direktif as my initial self-effort to survive in profitable business model. But I was lack of marketing supporting and my daily condition was very hard to stand up for that business. I am in defence mode; so along my nothing-ness, it is better for me to just create and maintain and having nothing else to be kept in mind.

Why can't I trust [more] in the spirit of knowledge?

The result is I remake my #direktif using MT and spend my time to maintain notes about IT from various source. This will be a suggested writing, motivated expression, and target oriented notes. My next plan after enough notes published is to invite others for joining — thus, it will not be only my private collection.

Welcome to visit #direktif.

I can not stand for client-side, JavaScript based, hit counter. The spec. that I need most: elegant and simple banner (I hate bigger and too-exposed color) and IP/host exclusion. CQCounter is my favourite, but, unfotunately they do not provide host exclusion, so it will be polluted with my own access when in editing or previewing mode. As a result, from yesterday I furnished our Analog, a web server's log analyzer. Most important things has been done was Virtual Host support. At the time when I first activated Analog, I erased our logs that include Virtual Host [I know, erasing logs is near to criminal activity!], but now I keep in mind that it is a must in an environment like our server.

To avoid me from doing a stupid thing, like no historical awareness, I move old Analog's page in separate directory, and provide necessary link for it. All activities are recorded formally in Atijembar.

All materials from old Coret Moret have been copied into new site with an explanation about anachronism. So, from now it is time to collect my writing from other archive as well as — more important — write more and more new articles.

Today I launch Coret Moret Amal using MovableType (MT). Because MT's environment is too heavy using deGromiest server, Coret Moret Amal is hosted in AMD machine — better performance with possible downtime risk because the nature of its usage. But this is the only option to provide better website.
